The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

This dishwasher's touchpad and control panel assembly make up the main control unit of the appliance. This part is designed for installation on the front panel of several brands of dishwashers. The touchpad is in the front and contains the buttons that control the main functions of the dishwasher. Wash, rinse, and temperature control can all be toggled through the touchpad, sending vital information to the control board located to the rear of this component. If the touchpad no longer responds to commands, a replacement control panel assembly should fix the problem. A voltage tester can indicate whether this is the problem. To install this part, unplug the dishwasher from its main power source and slide from the wall or counter. The perimeter of the dishwasher door holds screws that can be removed to take off the front panel and trim. After removing the front panel, open the dishwasher door and remove the fastening screws for the control panel assembly that are located on the top edge of the door and sides. Push the fastening clips around the control panel assembly and the component should pop out. Unhook the wire harness and make note of the wiring diagram for replacement. Repeat these steps in reverse to install the new part.This Whirlpool dishwasher touchpad and control panel assembly is a genuine OEM product sourced directly from Whirlpool. This part is only available individually and is not included with any other components. This part is compatible with Whirlpool, JennAir, KitchenAid, and Kenmore appliances.

The Door Handle Spring is an OEM replacment part for Whirlpool built-in dishwashers. It applies inward tension to assist in opening the dishwasher door after a cycle completes. Proper spring force prevents accidental openings during active washing and rinsing stages.

• Difficulty opening the dishwasher door at the end of a cycle  
• Potential opening of the door unintentionally during operation
• Sagging or loose door that does not securely latch in closed position

Causes related to the natural fatigue of the coiled wire over thousands of usage cycles. Loss of elastic properties compromises the spring's ability to counteract the weight and seal force of the heavy dishwasher door panel.
